OT: Around the NHL: That Bedard kid is okay at hockey

[AuroraBorealis]

It's pretty considerate of the Isles, Caps and Atlantic bubble-out teams to fall off and lower the playoff bar, knowing the Pens situation this year.
Kindness you love to see in 2023.

 

[Gurglesons]

Gunna suck when the Leafs cant afford him, not.

They probably will be able to afford him pretty easily. Cap will likely be going up and Matthews will be walking ..

Isles going on their annual 10 game losing streak.

Florida is the one that’s surprising me. But honestly they are injured in the areas they can’t be. Lundell and now Bennett and Ekblad all year.

They have Maurice. I was never worried about them.
Got my eyes more on Buffalo. If they get competent team defense then the offense can make them hot.

I think they are too young to put together the kind of stretch they need to.

For some reason I thought he was a UFA this year and Matthews next year. I dont see how they can keep both of them and Bunting.

Yeah, Bunting is probably gone, but they can probably get past that quite easily.

Ekblad has missed a lot of time this year is what I was referencing.

I feel like Bedard in Vancouver makes them a playoff team immediately and by the time he signs his second deal they'd have a ton of their bad deals off the books.

Granted JR is there so they will continue to sign bad deals.

Vancouver Canucks don’t deserve a talent like Bedard.

They deserve the Gilbert Brule of the draft. f*** them.

 

[Power Surge]

Gunna suck when the Leafs cant afford him, not.

They'll be able to afford him when Matthews walks to Arizona.. Or takes the Train. Or both.

They deserve the Gilbert Brule of the draft. f*** them.

I want to know more about this What's eating Gilbert Creme Brulee?

 

[heysmilinstrange]

Yohe has an article in The Athletic this morning praising Tocchet and saying we shouldn't feel bad for Boudreau. Canucks fans are ripping him in the comments. I don't get why it's okay for a Penguins beat writer to write something about another team, no matter what kind of connection he might have to someone (or some people) in their organization.

 

[Turin]

Tocchet’s only coaching success came as an assistant with Sullivan taking over. His coaching career is bad HC in Tampa, did nothing with Mike Johnston as assistant, won two Cups with Sullivan, was a bad HC in Arizona. I don’t see how anybody can say he’s the “right man” lol. Like he’s better than Mark Recchi I guess but his whole coaching career he’s been the good cop assistant or a bad head coach.

 

[66-30-33]

I hope Canucks lose tonight

Wait they are playing the ShitHawks....I kinda died inside right now NGL! Both are scum orgs to the 9th degree.

 

[BHD]

Anything pro-Tocchet is going to be rebuked because of how the Canucks treated Boudreau. Any writer with a clue should realize that.

 

[Randy Butternubs]

Any writer with a clue should realize that.

Are you saying that Yohe doesn't have a clue?

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

Yohe went beyond bootlicking and just full-on deepthroats the boot now. Eat shit.

 

[Zirakzigil]

Are you saying that Yohe doesn't have a clue?

Id be more shocked to know he did.

Did you hear him speak to the media? I can’t believe I used to advocate for bringing Tocchet back as an assistant. He’s an idiot. He can barely form complete sentences to describe things he’s been doing his whole life as a player and in coaching.

I can’t wait to see that franchise continue to suck.

Still carrying JR's water.

Yohe's basically a fanboy at this point.

 

[vodeni]

Still carrying JR's water.

its the position of all the peeps around Pens organization so Yohe just parroting what he thinks they'd like to hear

 

[AlphaMikeFoxtrots]

I refuse to watch this, but jeez.

Let's see if the Canucks hold them to under 10 shots for the rest of the period, if not the game.

Go to a 14 round SO.

 

[BusinessGoose]

Lol

I was at the STL CHI game.... Even holding the blahkawks to 3 shots on goal in the first, they had two scores lol lol

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Lol Bettman really is a tit. He believes no one tanks for the top pick.

View attachment 640975

I really wanted that SO

Still, that final shot differential of 48-14 is something to behold.

I don't hold quite the same animus towards the Canucks as I do the trashhawks, but as someone in the camp of neither should get Bedard, I'm conflicted Hence the shootout wish, ideally getting down to the goalies shooting on each other. Maximum chaos, please.
